I have noticed companies using more and more India based IT people. They stay located in India, while the company arranges office space there. Does this trend render the H1B visa program irrelevant? One company I worked for had offshore resources writing horrendous code that was like a labyrinth to step through and follow. I pushed and insisted on quality code. However the company was "all-in" regarding doing things offshore. I moved on elsewhere and the rest of the US based team requested and were granted transfers to different projects. Now the horrific code is preferred because it's "cheaper". Shoddy quality beats craftsmanship.
